About
The character "嘻" is structured with the mouth radical on the left, indicating its association with vocal sounds, combined with the component "喜" on the right, which functions as both a phonetic element and a semantic reference to joy or happiness. Historically, this character represented a range of exclamatory sounds, including laughter, sighs, or expressions of mockery and surprise. Over time, its usage became more specialized, often denoting light laughter or amused chuckling, particularly in reduplicated forms such as "嘻嘻" to convey giggling. Its written form has remained consistent, with the phonetic component "喜" reinforcing the character's enduring link to audible expressions of emotion.
